1 HANDY SPELLING RULES AND TIPS WORD BEGINNINGS SPELLING WITH C AND K When the vowels a, o, or u follow the sound /k/, it is spelled with a c. When the vowels i or e follow the sound /k/, it is spelled with a k. c a, o, u c a t c o t c u t k i, e k i n K e n CRAZY W When it directly precedes the vowel a, the letter w affects the a. Subsequently, w affects the murmur diphthongs ar and or. w before a = /o/ w a n t w a s p w before ar = /or/ w a r t w a r d w before or = /er/ w o r d w o r m When the sound /w/, spelled qu, precedes an a, the sound of the a changes to the sound of an o, such as in the words squat, quad, and quarter. WORD MIDDLES SHORT-VOWEL RULE When one-syllable words have a vowel in the middle, the vowel usually has a short sound. Examples: cat, dog, man, hat, mom, dad, got When they appear after a vowel, the letters f, l, and s are often doubled. Examples: staff, ball, pass

2 TWO VOWELS TOGETHER When two vowels are next to each other, the first vowel is usually long (the sound is the same as the sound of the letter) and the second vowel is silent. Examples: meat, seat, plain, rain, goat, road, lie, pie VOWEL-CONSONANT- E PATTERN When a short word, or the last syllable of a longer word, ends in the vowel-consonant-e pattern, the first vowel is usually long and the e is silent. Examples: place, cake, mice, vote, mute I BEFORE E For the long e sound, spell i before e, except after the letter c. Examples: relieve, relief, reprieve Letter c exception: receipt, receive, ceiling, deceive, conceive E BEFORE I For the long a sound, spell e before i. Examples: weight, freight, reign OI OR OY Use oi in the middle of a word and oy at the end of a word. Examples: boil, soil, toil, boy, toy OU OR OW Use ou in the middle of a word and ow at the end of a word, except words that end in n or d. Examples: mouse, house, found, mount, borrow, row, throw, crow AI OR AY Use ai in the middle of a word and ay at the end of a word. Examples: main, train, way, Monday

3 WORD ENDINGS SPELLING WITH CH AT THE END OF A WORD In one-syllable words, when a short vowel sound precedes the /ch/ sound, it is usually spelled tch. The t is silent and is used in the spelling of all but five words. Examples: catch, hatch, itch, twitch Five exceptions: rich, much, such, which, touch Y AS LONG I At the end of a short word that has no other vowel, the letter y makes the long i sound. Examples: cry, try, my, fly, by Y AS LONG E At the end of a word in an unaccented syllable, y or ey makes the long e sound. Examples: money, honey, many, key, funny DOUBLE S, F, AND Z In single-syllable, short-vowel words that end in the letters s, f, or z, the ending consonant is usually doubled. Examples: kiss, staff, mess, fluff, jazz Exceptions: There are 21 exceptions to this rule. Many of these words are sight words. S: is, as, his, has, was, gas, bus, yes, us, plus, pus, this, goes, does, says F: if, of, clef, chef Z: whiz, quiz SPELLING WORDS THAT END IN THE SOUND /J/ English words never end in the letter j. When the sound /j/ is at the end of a word, it is always spelled ge. Examples: age, huge, strange Most one-syllable, short vowel words ending in ge are preceded by a silent d. Examples: fudge, bridge, wedge

4 SPELLING WORDS THAT END IN THE SOUND /V/ The consonant v never stands alone at the end of an English word. The letter e always follows v at the end of a word, unless the word is an abbreviation, an acronym, or a name. Examples: gave, stove, have SPELLING WORDS WITH SUFFIXES 1) In a short vowel word ending in a single consonant, that consonant must be doubled before adding the suffixes -ing, -ed, -er, or -est. run runner hop hopping 2) If a short vowel word already has two consonants at the end, simply add the suffix. jump jumping hunt hunted 3) To add suffixes to words that end in a vowel, just add the suffix. go going be being 4) When adding the suffixes ing, ed, er, or est to silent-e words, drop the silent e and add the suffix. smile smiling pile piled 5) When adding the suffixes ing, ed, er, or est to adjacent vowel words, simply add the suffix. boat boating mail mailing

5 WORDS ENDING IN THE /K/ SOUND Long-vowel silent-e words end in ke. Examples: bake, hike, spoke If the vowel is short and no other sound is before the /k/ sound in a single-syllable word, the spelling is ck. Examples: back, sock, trick Words end in the sound /k/ spelled k when it is preceded by a murmur diphthong (ar, or, er, ir, ur), adjacent vowel, special vowel sound, or the letter l or n. Examples: park, seek, hawk, hunk, milk In the middle of a word, the sound /k/ is spelled c. Examples: deduct, locate, subtraction, correct Only multisyllabic words end in the sound /k/ spelled c. Examples: panic, traffic, picnic Exception: attack When adding ing to words ending in c, first change the ending to ck. Examples: picknicking, trafficking PLURALS To form a plural, add s to the ends of words ending in a consonant and add es to words ending in ss, zz, x, sh, or ch. Try underlining the ending to draw attention to it as you teach the correct pronunciation. k i t s j o b s c l a s s e s b u z z e s b o x e s w i s h e s p e a c h e s Note: The pronunciation of s is determined by whether it follows a voiced consonant. If the ending consonant is voiceless, the sound of the plural s is /s/ (e.g., hats). If the ending consonant is voiced, the sound of the plural s is /z/ (e.g., pens). Adapted from:
